The lastest addition to our gunpla collection.
MG Strike Freedom, Full Burst edition.
Yes, this has been sitting around in my room for over a year before I finally got the motivation to build it. As for the MG Destiny, well....thats still in the box....
And right after i finish this, Bandai decides to anounce the PG Strike Freedom kit. Just my luck isnt it???
Another kit which I have been working on, was the Genobreaker.
Now a couple of weeks ago, having recieved our pay cheques, Sum and I decided to go and splurge.
He decided on getting the Perfect Grade Strike, while I set my eyes on the Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composit Z Plus Booster.
However, I can say that we have some of the worst possible luck. Uppon arriving at hobbyco, all PG Strikes were sold out, and they only had the red version of the GFFMC Z plus.
If this was Sum, im sure it wouldnt be too much of a problem, since it would just be another collection to his red army.
However, having already gotten a very red kit recently, (Yes, the Geno Breaker is VERY red), I decided that I wanted the blue one instead.
What made things worse was that GFFMCs are limited items, so it was probably impossible to get another shipment.
So I guess we had to look for alternatives.
After alot of consideration, Sum had a change of mind and decided to get the PG 00 Raiser instead.
I guess this was because ToFu has had a unbuilt PG strike sitting around for around 4 years now, and we could sooner or later get together for a massive group build.
I on the other hand, looked on Ebay, and found what i was after.
EMS shipping was expensive, but atleast it was fast.
Like most parcels from Japan, we get newspaper.
No nude girls in this one, but painting auction.
Neatly bubble wrapped.
And then wrapped in another layer of thin paper.
As for box size, its around the size of a MG, but alot deeper.
And we go through the package contents.
Bandai only bothered printing one version of the manual, featuring the Zplus Red.
Layer One
Here we have the main Zeta Plus unit, wing binders, A1 and C1 tail binder, A1 and C1 shields, guns, beam sabers, etc...
Layer 2
Here, we get most of the booster attachment parts to form the Z-Plus Bst
Layer 3 consists of parts used to build the stand, and display base
Like all other Ver Ka model, the Z+ comes with decal markings all over its body.
And if you think that Katoki missed an area or something, well you dont really have to worry. Cos bandai were generous enough to give you a whole sheet of extra warning decals
137 decals all up
Most of the GFFMC, appart from the Psyco gundam and Psyco gundam MKII, are 1-100 scale.
Heres comparison with my MG Zeta 2.0
This kit has 6 modes. Z+ A1 MS, Z+ A1 wave rider, Z+ C1 MS, Z+ C1 waver rider, Z+ C1 Booster MS, Z+ C1 Booster waver rider.
I normally prefer to have it in Booste Waver rider form. Looks like a flying tank ^^
